“You think you’re the man for that job?”
“I better have been the only one who made an application,” he scowled.
I laughed. He caught my chin and pulled my face down so he was looking rightinto my eyes.
“Never letting you go,” he said. There was nothing cocky or even possessive about the way he said it, he only meant he knew I was where I am supposed to be.
“I never want you to,” I told him softly.
“You make me want to be a better man,” he said, smoothing his thumb over my lower lip. “I want to do anything I can to make you happy, to always keep you safe,” his smile was gentler than I’d ever seen on him as he cupped my cheek. “I fucking love you. And I always will, Waverley Curtis.”
Now I knew. This was my home, not just this place, or this family.
This man. My lover, my protector, my best friend.
My soulmate.
